The repair word is greyed out. Repair is not an option on the left side. Just create a new connection, set up network, disble device, rename connection, or change settings of connection. Device manager shows no conflicts with any devices.

Under Network adaptors, there is only the NEtGear MA401 Wireless PC card. Device Status says its working properly - no conflicting devices. I checked every device in Device Manager - nothing is flagged.

Interesting development, I was talkking to my business partner about this and she tells me she has the exact wirelsss card on her PC. So she brought it to work today, and I popped it in my son's PC. It worked. Put my son's back in, no connection. So I can only conclude that the card is bad. I will defiinitely be contacting the vendor. Thanks so much for all your help and your time.
